Strange game behaviour

Electro808 · #1 November 20th, 2009, 09:40 AM

I sent a geared up commander in to fight an army by himself and it says in the report he killed about half the army and was killed. But when I watched the battle he killed them all and was uninjured.

The commander is dead so it seems the battle lied?

Has anyone ever experienced this problem?

I'm the only one that's had this problem?

It happens occasionally. In no obvious pattern.

The battle you watch is a replay using the same random seed used when the actual battle was calculated during hosting. Sometimes something goes wrong and the replay comes out differently.
It used to happen when the battle was watched on a different OS or version of the code than the host, but it's been happening rarely on the same machine.

OK, good, I thought there was something wrong with my game or a mod.

Thanks for the explanation.

Oh well same thing just happened about 5 turns later. guess it is a bug.

these guys are owning whole armies on their own, easily. So irritating that they die and i cant see why. Gonna make more and see if it happens again.

Only mod i have is the CBM 1.5. Could that be causing it?

At one point i think CBM 1.5 had a problem.

try using 1.6 and see what happens maybe.

Yes, CBM 1.5 has been updated for llamaserver for some reason iirc, if you still have the old version this can lead to problems. You will need the right CBM 1.5 to continue the game though, CBM 1.6 will help you only if you start a new game.
This bug (or something which looks the same) can happen in the unmodded version of the game though.
